What's in your Closet???

Today at nap time, Bayleigh and her friend from school were upstairs in her bedroom playing. I was downstairs enjoying the quiet time and I heard this pound/stomping noise. I got up and headed up the stairs. The pounds grew louder and more intense and was accompanied by shrill screams yelling my name. When I got to the top of the stairs I heard one of the girls yell, "WE'RE GONNA BE STUCK IN HERE FOOOOOORRRRREEEEVVVVVVER!!!! MOM!!!!! and more screams.
By the time I got to the girls I was a laughing mess. The girls had locked themselves in Bayleigh's closet. It is an antique door with an old latch on the outside of the door, but not on the inside. When I opened that door I seen four fists in the air and tears streaming down faces filled with sheer terror! It was hilarious! I have never been hugged so tightly in my life! LOL! Bayleigh said, It's NOT funny! Loriann said, yeah it is kind of funny! LOL!
I know this HILARIOUS story might be one of those....Guess you had to be there moments to laugh, but I'm telling you. It was the funniest thing to happen in a very long time!
Hope you're well.
Love,
Jenn

Dentist Check-Up! 2011

Can you guess what this blog is about....Oh, wait, the title gave it away! LOL!



Bayleigh had her first of two dentist appointments yesterday afternoon. I am happy to report that her teeth look great! No Cavities again! :) Her dentist is SUPER nice. Our insurance only pays for one flouride treatment a year so he said that he will just not bill for this one, but did it anyways. I thought that was generous. Still no loose teeth--she was super bummed about that. They wanted to do full X-Rays this time instead of just the back teeth, but she is too small for the chair and the machine. BUMMER, she will probably always be too small for that machine. LOL! Oh well, maybe next time. :) He also said that the spacing in her baby teeth look great so he is anticipating no problems out of the adult teeth. THANK YOU GOD!!!! I don't want her to have my ugly teeth. :) Hope this blog finds you well. Until next blog!
Love,
Jenn

Like

Most of you are familiar with the world of Facebook....for those of you that are not, let me give you a little smidge of what you can do on there. You have a status bar where you basically just type whatever is on your mind and then people can leave comments to respond or there is a little link called 'like', that you can click and it lets the author know that you read it and you "like" it. You can also do the same with photos that you upload as well. So, there you have a clue. ;)
Last night and today I have been in the BEST mood! I really think it is the 60 degree temps that we have been having--teasing us for Spring! I went to bed tired last night and then got to thinking about how today was supposed to be even better than yesterday and I was WIRED! SO, I busted out the Droid phone and endulged in some Facebook time--(like I don't do that enough as it is). I somehow stumbled on this page of "likes" and they made me literally laugh out loud. ((Yes, I drove Larry CRAZY))! (he did laugh too).
After talking to a friend today, she told me that she was having a rough night--rightfully so. She said that while she was up she too hopped on Facebook and was reading my likes and was getting a chuckle out of them. (I was so happy that she shared that because, I honestly do think I am hilarious and crack myself up--Larry, not so much. :)) I am also happy that in her sadness she was able to find a smile. :)
Now, I know I can't take credit for these likes, but I shared them on my page so I am taking some credit. ;D Not to mention, I can SOOOOOO hear myself saying these things and it makes me laugh even more!
I wanted to share them here too so that I can look back on them whenever I want and get a good laugh. AND, to share with my readers that don't have Facebook of course. :) Let's Begin....

*A student gave his teacher a blank piece of paper. Teacher: What's this? Student: It's a drawing of a cow eating grass. Teacher: (looked at the paper) Where's the grass? Student: The cow ate all of it. Teacher: (looks at the paper again) Then, where's the cow? Student: It left because there was no more grass. :)
*Mumbling the bits of songs that you don't know. THEN BELTING THE CHORUS WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART. ;)
*Meeting someone new and being able to talk to them like you've known them for years.
*'Man up'-a simple phrase to make your friends do stupid things.
*Talking to the same person everyday and never getting sick of them. :) ((Jenn))
*Would like to congratulate my parents for having such an amazing daughter.
*I had social networking when I was a kid too. I think back then it was called "outside".
AND MY FAVORITE!!!
*Someone told me I am immautre and need to grow up. Guess who's not allowed in my treehouse now!
Don't you just love them?! LOL! I was cracking up the whole time I was writing this post! Hope it brought a smile to your face too! Until next blog...
Love,
Jenn

Jodi Kuhn's Photography

I cannot even begin to tell you how overly excited I am to write this blog!!!!!
My great friend Jodi Kuhn of Jodi Kuhn's Photography texted me and told me she wanted my kid to do pictures! ABSO-FREAKIN'-LUTELY! Jodi's style and vision for photography is very similar to my own. My problem--MY CHILD!!!! (That's right! Control your Gasps, I'm talking about MY BAYLEIGH)! She will NOT cooperate with me when it comes to phototgraphy. OK, OK, OK--I'll be fair and give her some credit, I have had a camera shoved in her face for that last 6 years and 3 months of her life. :) Whatev....we're not talking about me here. ;)
So, anyways--I was delighted at the impromptu photo shoot.
Jodi is a natural light photographer and her work just continues to get better and better and better and better....you get my point. I strongly suggest that if you are in the need of photos to give her a call. She has a Facebook Page as well. (If I knew how to do that whole linky thingy I'd link you right to her here). Wait, maybe I can figure it out....let's try, Click HERE. ((Hope it works)). Check it out and "like" her page. If you want her contact information just let me know. I think it's on her page too, but as I type this I am still not sure if the linky thingy is going to work. ;)




Jodi also does maternity, newborn, family, children--obviously, and pretty much anything you would want--not so much weddings, but maybe someday. :) ((in her defense, weddings are a TON of work)). Her prices are so affordable and I promise you will love her work. Thanks for checking in! Until next blog!
Love,
Jenn

Valentine's Day 2011

Yesterday was Valentine's Day and how did we celebrate??? With a classroom party of course! :) I originally had not signed up to do the class Valentine's party. I did the Halloween Party with a couple of other moms. When I got the call asking to do it, I was happy that things worked out and I was able to help. Two other moms and I ended up doing it and it was fun!
To host a class party moms are supposed to bring in a game or craft and snacks and drinks. There were two other moms as well that didn't sign up that brought snacks in too so the children were far from short on sugar. :)
At the Halloween Party Mrs. Sheaffer brought the game Hot Potato. I originally purchased a craft to do for Valentine's Day and then Friday--after speaking with another room mom--I realized that craft was already being brought. So, I instead decided to borrow the idea of hot potato and they passed around a Valentine's Day Bear and the winner got to keep the bear. :) They loved it. I took my phone to use my Pandora Radio app and guess what.....Stupid Smart phone wouldn't work when I got there. And yes, I did test it before leaving the house! (Not a Droid fan this week). At first, all the children sang songs together and with my back turned to them I'd randomly yell stop and that's how they got out. Mrs. Dalley then came in and showed me how to use her radio and we went from there using it. :)
After games we went to the crafts. They were CUTE! One mom brought in foam flowers to assemble and the other mom brought in foam valentine's to assemble.
Right after crafts the children passed out their valentines. That was a little chaotic, but they loved doing that as well. :)

Here is the whole class playing hot potato!
Over all the party was a blast and I was thankful to get to be a part of it. Hope your Valentine's Day was great. Larry of course refuses to feed into the commercial of the day. The words I love you didn't even come out of his mouth. I'm not gonna lie, it hurt some, but I don't need a day to hear it. I know it already. :) Until next blog!
Love,
Jenn

Bieber FEVER!

Today was the first true test of what being a mommy to a beautiful little girl is all about--The first, of probably many, boy band crushes!
Justin Bieber is THE "it" man at this point of all the young girlies lives. He is a boy that is 16 yrs old and was discovered on YouTube.com and almost instantly became a sensation.
I was really dreading going to the movie theaters to see him in a documentary type film--in 3D I might add. Of course, a mommy/daughter date came about because daddy said he was out! It ended up not being too bad. Justin Bieber really is a cute kid. He comes from a very loving mother. His father left when he was 10 months old, but he was even there and very supportive. His grandparents are amazing and it's safe to say that they are his #2 and #3 fans right behind his mother.
Bayleigh was SO cute. She sat in her seat next to me, head bobbing, shoulders bouncing up and down, hips shaking, and toes tapping. I am pretty sure that the smile never left her face! She kept looking up at me in her 3D glasses and just grinning from ear to ear. It made it worth it I must say.
She is now begging to go to his concert--might be a problem considering he sold Madison Square Gardens in 22 minutes! I am sure that an effort will be made to get her to the show. ;) (Providing he comes to Indiana)
I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! Until next blog!
Love,
Jenn
